............what spark plug wires are you guys running with good luck? Mine are jumping fire to the headers....bought a cheap Autozone set and they are doing the same thing.

Definately need an aftermarket set. See what the guys in the race section are using. I got around an issue with my small block with those long individual ones you can buy and made a holder to loop around just behind the alternator for #2 & #4.

Hedman Headers w/ MSD Street Wires,

I run msd wires without a problem

msd street fire

Rickster

Thanks guys.
I don't know what I was thinking really....in my mind it wasn't going to be a hot rod/go fast truck so I was hoping stock stuff would work, but......anyways thanks for the feed back.

I ordered some street fires, today. We'll see how the fit. Thanks again everybody.

I am running MSD streetfire box and wires on my 83 D150 512. I bought the universal wires so I could cut each one individually to fit with my shorty headers.

Passenger side view; engine has 500 miles on it and have had no problem.

Lee, I am running FBO high energy coil attached to the front part of my Indy Manifold.

I'm not seeing that on there website, the coil I'm running is the mopar looking one. That looks like an e-coil style. I'm being thinking of running on of those.

Contact Rick; his screen name is sunroofgtx

I think Rick sells firecore products and so does FBO Here is a link

Ok if you don't mind, what is the dimensions of that coil.....how big of foot print does it have?

ROUGHLY 3 1/2" LONG, 4 1/2" WIDE AND 3" TALL. Here's a closeup

I wonder how hard it would be to mount that on my six pack coil bracket that I'm using. Thanks for the close up.

Well that didn't last long Number five is jumping fire again.

Rick MAKES Firecore, or at least has them made.

Since Prestolite now owns Accel, as well as jacobs and mallory, you can buy Accel wires with the ceramic boots that may be a help.

Throw some protective sleeves on those spark plugs and that should keep the wires away from the headers. S/F.....Ken M

It may help to get some short spark plugs like some lawn mowers use..

MSD tech dude was saying to buy another set and put this shrink stuff over it. summit msd parts

You guys ever use this stuff?

With straight plug heads I had to put a good sized dent in #5 tube for the plug to clear properly and for there to be ANY clearance for the plug wire. I ended up using the boot insulators that slip over the wire and look like header wrap. It works for awhile but eventually it still burns up the wire end. Always #5. I think if I had angle plug heads it'd clear better but it looks like it'd make one of the other cylinders tighter.
This is what I'm using. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/the-14260

I had cardboard in front of the radiator this winter to keep the heater working better and it caused the plug wire to burn a lot faster. Since I took the cardboard out, no more problems. So far. May have to build my own headers eventually. Probably when I finish these Stage VI heads.

Hey I appreciate the feed back. I think that I'm going to try what you posted over the stuff MSD said and see if can't over kill it.

What do you guys think?

Anybody have the part number for the shorter plugs that work. I wish that I could find that again. Someone had posted that on another mopar site.

Just got done watching an old Popular Hot Rodding video on headers, find the link on the Race engine page, there was something like 600 degrees F difference between ceramic coated and black painted headers. Something to think about.....Oh, and shorty headers are inferior to long tubes over the entire rev range (except for one point where they matched).

I had to run the "peanut" plugs on my 440 in the Ramcharger with headers.

Summit and Jegs sell them.

Hey thanks for the feed back...........will these fit 915 heads?

Do the 915's use a flat seat with the crush washer, or are they a taper seat?

If they are the flat seat they should work.

If they are a taper seat you could look at maybe the Chevy type peanut plug. I think they used a taper seat.

Ok, I'm going to have to pull a plug cause right now I'm not remembering off the top of my head. Thanks again for the part number.
